As Marlene's Market & Deli celebrates 48 years in business, we're excited to share a special recipe in honor of the occasion! Carrot cake holds a special place in our hearts as it was one of Marlene's personal favorites. We're thrilled to present a delightful twist on this indulgence, soft carrot cake cookies with decadent cream cheese frosting. Enjoy the comforting flavors of carrot cake in a convenient cookie form. And remember, Marlene would encourage you to use organic ingredients whenever possible!
